Narrative:
I was notified after landing at ZZZ that I had flown through a temporary restr airspace, AAA power plant 24 mi southwest of AAA, us a NOTAM ifdc/XXXX was put out on 10/tue/01 concerning the flight rests near AAA power plants. Unfortunately, these are not marked on sectional or NOAA charts. The NOTAM only gives a compass direction and distance from a town, I. East. 24 miles southwest of AAA. If one is not familiar with the visual location of these plants, it difficult to determine where they are. This particular plant does not have the familiar tall cooling towers. A more meaningful description of their location for a pilot would be a radial and DME distance from a known VOR.

Narrative: I WAS NOTIFIED AFTER LNDG AT ZZZ THAT I HAD FLOWN THROUGH A TEMPORARY RESTR AIRSPACE, AAA PWR PLANT 24 MI SW OF AAA, US A NOTAM IFDC/XXXX WAS PUT OUT ON 10/TUE/01 CONCERNING THE FLT RESTS NEAR AAA PWR PLANTS. UNFORTUNATELY, THESE ARE NOT MARKED ON SECTIONAL OR NOAA CHARTS. THE NOTAM ONLY GIVES A COMPASS DIRECTION AND DISTANCE FROM A TOWN, I. E. 24 MILES SW OF AAA. IF ONE IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE VISUAL LOCATION OF THESE PLANTS, IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE WHERE THEY ARE. THIS PARTICULAR PLANT DOES NOT HAVE THE FAMILIAR TALL COOLING TWRS. A MORE MEANINGFUL DESCRIPTION OF THEIR LOCATION FOR A PLT WOULD BE A RADIAL AND DME DISTANCE FROM A KNOWN VOR.
